Castile-La Mancha

Convincing the kids to come with you to Castile-La Mancha is going to be very easy. You only have to tell them that they'll be able to enjoy fanstastic excursions.
You'll be able to see archaeological sites, museums, one of the largest wind farms in the world, take part in the Villarrobledo Carnival(Albacete), explore mines, visit the planetarium in the Castile-La Mancha Science Museum, or the El Hosquillo nature reserve where you'll see bears in their natural habitat, discover faces carved into rock walls, board a sailing boat… Energise yourself and get ready to keep up with the kids!

Castile-León

The weekend is here... or the holidays… and the kids don't have school. You want to plan a getaway but you're not sure how. Don't worry, there are a whole host of things to do in Castile-León. You can choose an option lasting for a weekend or even for seven days, where activities include the chance to sail with your family on Lake Sanabria, visit an entertaining museum filled with carnival figures, find out what life was like for our ancestors, and discover the amazing sight of real dinosaur footprints, to give just a few examples.
If you'd rather plan your own trip, and only want a few guidelines, Castile-León also offers ideas for routes and itineraries (lasting three to seven days) including 'A week around the Cordillera Cantábrica mountains in Castile-León' or 'A week around Castile-León's World Heritage Cities'.

Travel ideas

La Rioja

Bring your family to discover the oldest inhabitants of La Rioja: the dinosaurs. And we're not kidding. Thousands of years ago these animals left numerous footprints all over this part of Spain.
You can visit some of the multitude of ichnite (dinosaur tracks) sites in La Rioja (the best-known are those of Enciso, Munilla, Igea and Cornago), and see for yourself. Along your way you'll also find life-size reproductions of dinosaurs... so don't forget your camera!
And to learn more about this world, why not arrange a visit to the La Rioja Palaeontological Visitor Centre? And what about leaving a day for the El Barranco Perdido paleo-adventure park?

Practical tips

>Visits to the ichnite sites are designed to be done at your own pace (they are outdoors, and most are easy to access; some have walkways and explanatory panels). The best idea is to go by car and then to explore the site on foot. Many of these sites also have signposted routes.

>If you would like to hire the services of a specialised guide, the best idea is to ask at the tourist offices in the area or at the La Rioja Palaeontological Visitor Centre. You can also find them at La Rioja Tourist Board.
